Eurocorps is a multinational army corps within the framework of European Union and NATO common defence initiatives. Headquartered in Strasbourg, France, the force was established in 1992 and declared operational in 1995, though it draws from European defence initiatives as far back as the 1960s.
Six countries participate in Eurocorps as "framework nations": France, Germany, Belgium (from 1993), Spain (from 1994), Luxembourg (from 1996)[2] and Poland (from 2009). A further six countries have pledged troops or contribute operational staff: Austria, Turkey, Greece, the USA, Italy and Romania. Most of these countries are members of the EU (with the exception of Turkey and the USA) and of NATO (with the exception of Austria).
